Mb Hisnet Driver (on behalf of the N.Z.L. and M.A. Co.) reports for week e. ding September 6, 1876:

Wool.—No further advices per cable to report. San Francisco mail, due in Auckland on the 10th, will bring later catalogues of the July sales. No wool offering here. Sheepskins.—At our weekly auction this afternoon wo catalogued 1,200 skins, which sold at very full rates, butchers’ green cross-breda realising 3s 8d to 4s 2d; dry cross-breds, 2s lid to 3s 6d; merinoes, Is 5d to 2s lid; pelts, ssd to fd. Hides.—We sold 150, principally wet salted. Heavy weights, 15s to 17s 3d: medium, 13s to 14.s 9d; inferior and light, 9s 6d to 12s, or 3d to 3}d pelb : green butchers’, 16s 9d t® 18s. Tallow. —\ few lots «f inferior sold at 23s 6d to 27s 6d for medium.

Grain,—The only wheat arriving is coastwise, to millers’ orders. We quote wheat, good milling, ready sale at 5s 6d—a price which should be taken advantage of, as several cargoes are afloat from San Francisco, the low prices in Great Britain having turned the attention of shippers there to these Colonies. The expectation of importations to Auckland has kept flour in that market from answering to the advance which has taken place in this market. Oats are still hardening from scarcity of supply; feed is selling at 2s to 2s Id; milling, 2s 2d to 2s 3d. Barley continues dull, prices nominal; 4s to 4s 6d, good to prime molting; dark and inferior, 3s 4d to 3s Od; milling, more inquiry, at 2s 6d to 2s 9d.
